Review: MIZON All In One Snail Repair Cream

Greetings!

Review of the day is the Mizon Snail Cream!

If you remember, I did post about my wishlist here. And, my previous post about snail creams here


Product Info: 

Name: MIZON All In One Snail Repair Cream
Brand: MIZON
Size: 75ml
Price: RM33.60 including postage
Where to buy: Qoo10 ( I did a post about this snail cream haul here.) 

Additional Info from seller's site:



Packaging:


This is how the box looks like:

Front part of the box:


Back part of the box with everything in Korean except the word MIZON & the 75ml.

One side of the box with Korean words:


Other side of the box with English explanation:


How the bottle looks like:


How the back part looks like:


When you remove the cap, it had a lid to ensure cleanliness:


After removing the lid, you will then get the cream:


Scent:

Like all other snail creams

Texture:

Very light textured cream. When applied, skin absorbs the cream almost immediately. 

My Experience:

Sorry I took so long to write this review. I used up 2 bottles before I could judge this cream. I apply this every night & it does protect the moisture of my face. As in, when I wake up the very next day, my face doesn't feel dry at all. As for its claim that it is a repair cream? Nah! I don't think it repaired anything.

Conclusion:

It's just like any other moisturiser. I guess the price is ok only when it is on sale since its function is just as a moisturiser. 

Will I repurchase? :

Highly unlikely unless there is an awesome sale on this cream again.

Texture:

As its name says, it has the typical gel consistency.  It is transparent like so:

Once applied, you can’t see a thing.

Scent:

I actually can't describe the smell since I've never actually smelled snails or their secretion before.

Experience:

I bought this since it was on sale and it's other product of the same brand has gotten rave reviews. Well, let's just say it really didn't make much of a difference to my skin. To make it clear, I really don't see any difference? Maybe I used it wrong or maybe it just wasn't the right thing for me.

Conclusion:

I don't see why this product has gotten rave reviews. I really don't see any effect on my skin.

Will I repurchase?:

No. It didn't do anything.

Greetings~!

Review of the day is the Jelly Pong Pong Mineral Foundation Powder which I got from the HiShop Ambassador Programme (August)
HiShop.my

Brand: Jelly Pong Pong
ProductMineral Foundation Powder
SPF: 15
Shade: Fair
Size: 6g
Shades available: Fair, Medium, Sunkissed
Where to buy: HiShop
Price: RM79
Shipping: Free

Additional Info (taken from HiShop):

This talc free formulation gives optimal coverage as well as moisture to your complexion so the final result is matte but not cakey Extremely silky and sophisticated to the touch, it is formulated with a pool of different mineral which are extremely skin compatible.
Bonus : Broad spectrum sunscreen provides protection against UVA/UVB rays. Made with Vitamin E. Fragrance Free

Brand Introduction:

JELLY PONG PONG is a multifunctional, gift inspired botanical extract base cosmetics brand and is strongly against animal testing. It places an ardent emphasis on creating products which evoke the dreamer in you & which clearly defines what it means to be passionate about cosmetics. With such pride in their creations comes a focus on product integrity & efficacy and great-quality products that work. All JELLY PONG PONG products are made in Italy and under the care of an experienced formulator. Drawing from the expertise of cosmetic chemists who are just as passionate about their art as the brand is about formulations.

All Jelly Pong Pong products can be found here.

Packaging:

Like any other products, it comes in a box.



This is the side of the box:

Ingredients are listed really clearly as you can see above.

This is the other side of the box which has the caution written on it, plus, storage instructions:

Like most products, you have to keep it in a fresh and dry environment.

This is another side which has cute lil images:



The other side with some info:


This is how the bottom of the box looks like:

This product is made in Italy and it has a UVA of 3 stars. 


This is how the product looks like once you take it out of the box:

It actually looks like a replica of the box, only in bottle form.

This is how the bottom of the product looks like:

Pretty much the same information which you can obtain from the bottom of the box.

Cap is screw on type as you can see below:

After removing the cap, you can see there is a plastic seal to keep it clean and to ensure the powder doesn't dirty the cap.



Experience:

I gave this product to my mom. She reviewed this. :)
She became a shade fairer after putting this on. Not in a weird way, it looks really natural on her.
It brings out the brightness of her skin.
For coverage, it doesn't cover her pigmentation & redness. It doesn't cover anything actually which is why on the box, they did mention OPTIMAL, and not full. :)
As for oil, it kept her oil free all day. 
This is really good in the sense that other foundation will make her face oily after a few hours but this doesn't.
It really does what it claimed in the sense that the final result is matte and not cakey. That's TRUE!

Here's a lil before & after pic of using this product:

no editing was done apart from cropping and inserting the before and after words.

Note: the above experience was written based on a Q&A session I had with my mom regarding this product.


Conclusion:

My mom said that this product is not bad at all and that if it needed any improvement, it would just be on coverage.


Will I purchase?:

More to will my mom purchase? Yes, she would.

Hishop.my


Greetings~!





HiShop.my

If you’ve been a reader of this blog, you’ve probably read a post regarding this before.
Read it  here if you haven’t.
My previous post was about Hishop back in February or so and Hishop has definitely change ALOT since then. Which is why I'm writing this post.
Based on my previous post, I will do a lil comparison and maybe even elaborate a lil bit more.
Hope you guys don’t mind a lengthy post.

Features:

This is pretty much how the site looks like:

2013-08-26_16h23_46
2013-08-26_16h24_09

2013-08-26_16h24_23

This site is really easy to use. User-friendly! Yup! That’s the right word.


Products:

I’m super impressed with their list of brands! They have added so MANY more brands as compared to before!
Have a look at the list of brands:

2013-08-26_16h27_06


Navigation:

This site is super easy to navigate in the sense that they actually divide each product into different categories & sections such as below:

2013-08-26_16h27_232013-08-26_16h27_32

2013-08-26_16h27_422013-08-26_16h29_01

2013-08-26_16h29_082013-08-26_16h29_15

2013-08-26_16h29_212013-08-26_16h29_28

2013-08-26_16h29_36


Service:

1. Reward points

2013-08-26_16h40_21
This is the most suitable thing of all! I mean who doesn’t like to be rewarded for shopping? Well, now you can!
More info can be found here.

2. Free samples

2  free samples to be exact. Now, I have to say, this is the only downside to this new version compared to the old one. There were more selections previously and you can actually choose 3 samples rather than 2. But I won’t complain so much since other sites won’t even give you any freebies also known as samples.

2013-08-26_16h30_03


3. Delivery

2013-08-26_16h45_46
What’s better now is that they even have international delivery!

2013-08-26_16h46_54


4. Payment
2013-08-26_16h48_06

What’s better now is that they have Cash On Delivery!

2013-08-26_16h48_54
How convenient right?


5. Returns, exchange & refunds
2013-08-26_16h51_02


6. SALES!
2013-08-26_17h00_17
What’s the best part about shopping? SALES!

Ok, there are actually many more services and such but to know more, head over to hishop.my

Oh and remember my previous post where I stated what I think Hishop should improve on? Well, I'm not sure whether they read my post then but they definitely improved on that aspect.. I'm quite happy with Hishop since the best service is actually improving. Don't you guys agree?

Efficiency:

I can only judge this based on my previous experience which I’ve already written here.
For delivery, I did get it within the 7 days limit. so check! And I especially love it when online sites email you about the tracking number and such and they definitely did that. so, check!
For packaging, all products were bubble wrapped while samples were not. so, check! there is a minor thing though. Back then, the box I received wasn’t in a good condition. The bottom of the box was torn but based on reviews I read about others, I guess they definitely improved on the box.
For extra service, I requested a Happy Birthday note to be written and Hishop wrote the note nice and neatly. So, definitely check!
For response, I once enquired about something and they replied within 24 hours. So, EXTRA CHECK!

Conclusion:

Hishop.my is super easy to navigate and is one of the best online shopping sites. Have you shopped there before? If you haven’t, you are definitely missing out! What are you waiting for? Go check it out now!
